  • An Introduction to Spectrum Management
    MTR 04W0000048 MITRE TECHNICAL REPORT Spectrum 101 An Introduction to Spectrum Management March 2004 John A. Stine David L. Portigal Sponsor: OASD NII Spectrum Policy Contract No.: DAAB07-03-C-N206 Directorate Dept. No.: W805 Project No.: 0704C550-CA Approved for Public Release; Distribution Unlimited. ©2004 The MITRE Corporation Washington C3 Center McLean, Virginia Foreword Each day the military relies on spectrum-dependent technologies to complete its missions. New technologies found in radars, sensors, satellites, radios, and wireless devices make information superiority a reality and are an integral part of military operations. The effectiveness of ships at sea, soldiers in the field, and planes in the sky depend on the capabilities of these systems. In turn, the capabilities of these systems are dependent on the unseen resource of spectrum. In the past, the availability of this unseen resource was a minor issue for the DoD, as there was ample spectrum access to meet its needs. However, today, new technologies, the needs of other users (government and commercial), and the proliferation of wireless technologies worldwide have made maintaining even current spectrum allocations difficult. New, exciting wireless communication products are creating a large demand for spectrum. Wireless subscriber services are growing rapidly worldwide. Emerging countries, in an effort to modernize, are choosing to deploy wireless infrastructure in lieu of wired infrastructure since it costs less. All of these factors make a more competitive environment for worldwide spectrum access. As the recent operations in Afghanistan and Iraq can attest, the DoD achieves much of its military capability from exploiting technology, especially information technology.
